Most homeowners don't think about their electrical panel until the lights flicker or a breaker won't stay reset. But with modern appliances and gadgets, your old panel might be struggling to keep up—or worse, it could be a safety hazard.

In this episode of The Check A Pro Radio Show, host Jim Klauck sits down with Kevin Lipps, owner of Lipps Electric. Kevin answers the critical question: "Is my electrical panel up to code?" and explains what you need to look for to keep your home safe.

• The "Outdated" List: Kevin identifies specific brands (like Federal Pacific and Zinsco) that are notorious for failing to trip and causing fires.

• Warning Signs: How to tell if your panel is overloaded, from warm cover plates to strange humming noises.

• Code Compliance: What the current National Electrical Code (NEC) requires for modern homes, including AFCI and GFCI protection.

• The Power Gap: Why a 100-amp service might have been enough in the 1970s, but why 200-amp is the new standard for today's EV chargers and high-efficiency HVAC units.

Don't guess when it comes to your family's safety. Tune in to hear Kevin's expert advice on when to repair and when it’s time for a full panel upgrade!
